And Still They Come.

All the previous efforts of the Ar
gus and Defamer to find an accepta-
BILE republican candidate for Govern
or having fallen fiat, they have gone
at it again. This time it is our gal
liant and genial friend, Col. Geo. W.
Hooker, whom they hold up to the
admiring gaze of the people, while
they basic him with oily compliments.
1t won't do, gentlemen. Col. Hook
er is not a fool by a long shot, neither
are the people. George has had a
little experience in trying to run for
every office under the sun, whereby
he caught bad fall and learned a
useful lesson. Nearly two years ago
he very sensibly made up his mind to
follow the SIFTER's advise and stop
asking the people for votes for awhile
and allow them to get their breath
again. Since then he has been de-
voting his whole mind to cabbages
and other agricultural pursuits, es-
pecially to running agricultural fairs,
in which he is great success. What
George wants, one of these days, af-
ter he has given the voters a good
rest and a chance to forget his old
foolishness, is to 60 to Congress, and
if he continues to behave as well as
he has for year or two past, nobody
need be surprised if he gets there.
He isn't fool enough to kick all his
chances into pie by making an ass of
himself now, and he has no desire or
intention to do so. So far as a Sc
lection of candidate for Governor
is concerned, his position is well I'M
derstood in this county. He not only
won't be candidate for Governor
himself, but for months past has
openly committed himself in favor Of
another man, and proposes at til,
proper time to back that man up will

faults, like everybody else, but he i
neither fool nor a liar and don't o
back on his word nor his friends an,
when he makes pledge he stands b
it which can't be said of some men
who shall be nameless just now. Sc

Heretofore the SITTER has not offered
any special inducements, worth mention

by the efforts of its enemies to suppress

The prog rcss of the campaign will be recorded

a Republican newspaper from the date of the

The election of lssS will have an absorbing in

pursued by organs that claimed to be guides TO

Written for the sirTER,]
THE PROHIBITION PARTY.
ny j, Il, IANDNIAN,

When you talk of prohibition,
am with you every time;
Death to every coalition
Breeding beggary and crime.
While | show tender Difference
For those methods not my own,
Proper fashions are my preference,
Mugwump styles let alone.
When I'm sick with some disorder,
wont trust doctors ghost;
If I'm in for law and order,
| won't follow Johan Most.
When that pseudo-tcfhperance faction
Aided Cleveland 10 the throne,
Common sense abhorred the action,
Truth, such folly, would not own.
Saints may preach and fools may buster,
What's the outcome sure to be?
All the forces they can muster
Must be temperance men, you sec.
Temperance men! where can they find
them?
Democrats have few to spare;
Somehow, liquor bosses blind them,
So they get small comfort there.
But Republicans exhibit
Temperance men of every shade;
Some declare we should prohibit,
Others licence schemes parade.
There's that Anticipated faction,
rrampling on the temperance cause,
Acts one stupid overaction,
Thwarting prohibition laws,
Prohibition, blessings ON it,
May it bring us waves of joy;
But prosperity will scorn it,
Till they better means employ.
Prohibition, Heaven bless it,
But the party better die,
Hope twill see its wrong, confess it,
And on proper means rely.

They tell this story: Mrs. Beech
er called upon DR.. Parker, Plymouth
Church's new Henglish Pastor, at 5
p. IN. and sent up her card. Word
came down that DR.. Parker couldn't
see Mrs. Beecher until Z, as he was
engaged in private prayer. The
Brooklyn Eagle says:
"Mrs. Beecher gathered her skirts
about her, shook the dust of the
place off hel feet and left the hotel in
frame of mind which was not en-
tirely composed of amiability. She
had happened to interrupt Parker's
dinner"

home, a love Of country, must be
inculcated in the minds Of every
class Of citizens in order to make
them willing to defend our govern
ment and common country.
As d nation we must cultivate
the minds of our people; prepare
our youth for high grade of edu-
cation. The arts and sciences and
the great principle Of self govern
ment and political economy must
be handled by minds that are well
trained. We must make our own
men of science, must raise up our
own statesmen TO guard and defend
this liberty aud protect this great
inheritance of ours. We can not
stand still; we can not retrograde;
we must progress onward and up
ward. A premium for honest la
Dor. If a nation owes gratitude to
any one class Of people more than
any other it is to him who earns
a livelihood by honest toll. II is
to him that makes the meat and
bread that feed the people; him
that rears the herds, that sows and
reaps the harvest that gathers the
corn and cotton, that we as a nation
owe our safety and prosperity.
The life blood of a nation is
found in its revenue. There is no
reason why an honest and faithful
handling of our natural resources
should not secure the government
money enough to meet all de-
mands, with large surplus in the
treasury. ] fully endorse the princi-
pie of handling our revenue for ev-
cry dollar that it is worth, which is
derived from our natural resources.
This great estate is capable of
paying us well if properly handled.
At the same time with an honest,
united determination of the Chero-
kee people we are able to-day to
prove to the world that we are cap
able of self government; that our
destiny as a people is a true re-
finement and high state of civili-
cation.

these great principles. With this

me why IL was that when an ex-
ecutive meeting was called on a
convict case that a portion of the
executive councillors were notified
too late to reach the meeting in
time to serve on said committee2
In every instance those who were
notified too late were men opposed
to turning convicts loose.
"Voter" tells us the minds of
the people are mystified. Ho, hol
We can only laugh at his Juvenile
expressions, and we are only too
glad that he has taken such a deep
interest in our welfare, for since
he began writing, the men of the
country have flocked to the stand

on the creek who we understand is

tray Of spades is.
